Changes in Telehealth: New CPT Codes, Federal RFI, Petition to the FCC & Private Sector Research
September 19, 2018
This concise summary outlines the November 2012 Institute of Medicine (IOM)’s Telehealth Workshop Report. Though CCHP prepared this fact sheet, CCHP is not affiliated with IOM.
This first edition of CCHP’s “Cost Efficiency Studies” examines telehealth-related studies, pilot projects, and programs that evaluate telehealth’s cost effectiveness and efficiencies when used in health care settings. Studies conducted in the United States and published between 2005 and 2013 that highlight telehealth’s cost savings were included in the chart. Each entry includes a summary of the study, key findings, and important features about the study design.
